Searching for inspiration

I've tried a few times to get a blog started so I hope this one is more enduring than my earlier attempts. I have a colleague who is a very dedicated bogger so she is my muse. I have just had a few days away from school what with Friday off (my sister-in-law's father's funeral, yet another reminder of our impermanency here) the weekend and Monday is my glorious one day off a week. Saw my beautiful grand kiddies yesterday - they are growing so quickly (5yrs and 9 yrs). I went for an early morning swim - my usual k swim at the local pool. then picked up some nice TS tops from Myer. Finished reading Atonement today - wonderful, the film is only half as good as the novel. Will try now and insert my avatar.
